Popis: The hemostatic and immunostimulating activity and cytotoxicity were determined for a number of chitosans differing in molecular weight (from 3 to 510 kDa) and degree of acetylation (from 1 to 25 mol%) that were used as adjuvants in inactivated poliomyelitic, influenza, and live influenza vaccines. It has been shown that the hemostatic activity of chitosan increased sharply with an increase in its molecular weight. In oligochitosan with a molecular weight of
